Local productions coordinated donations after Lahaina fires, Hayes says

Hayes described coordinating community relief efforts from production staff and studios after the Lahaina fires, working with Aloha Harvest and CBS to collect and distribute food and goods. He said CBS and the crew gathered multiple containers of supplies and coordinated post-store pickups and container shipments to affected communities.

"We ended up taking some 20 plus containers," Hayes said of the relief effort, and he emphasized the personal connection to the islands and the drive among crews to help. The podcast framed these activities as informal humanitarian responses led by production teams and corporate support rather than a formal state program.
